Unprofessional Fridays: 04/19/2019

You guys should put the name of the game being played on the screen, similar to how you do with Bombcast.

That first game ought to be called "Perspeckticles".

The Jeff avatar origin story!!

If you put beans in your chili you’re a goddamn communist.

I mean Jeff sure does love his anime.

UPF has really trended retro lately, I'm happy for those that enjoy watching that stuff.

3.8m is a pretty solid player rank for Smash. Good job Ben

@nyhorn36: Naw, just like clean pipes.

Jan and/or Jason, could you please take a look at the noise gate? It's REALLY aggressive and cuts out the start of sentences many times.

Jack On

Please call the untitled game "Alexy Quest"

Looking forward to the five nights at freddies stream!

@nyhorn36: If you don't put beans in your chili, you haven't made chili, you've made stew.

Hey Ben if you're still wondering, that robot snes game was also played on a snes anniversary special while you were there as an intern.

I'm getting kinda bored of Jeff's old games segments. It was neat to see once, but cmon man.

NO BEANS MEANS MORE BEEF

Making a game with jazzy lounge music BUT NOT Bennett Foddy’s dulcet tones is frankly unacceptable.

I always knew about the underwater negative world in Super Mario Bros., but the one with the Princess and Bowser (or King Koopa) just floating in the air....wow.

@binarygod: I disagree, if you miss the name of the game just rewind a little bit and they will say it. There doesn't have to be a constant graphic on the screen.

I love the retro game content. I'd rather see C64 stuff I never knew about rather than the latest garbage on Steam.

I'm glad he is so passionate about it, but personally I'm burnt out big time on old game content. I'd rather he just does what he wants and doesn't worry about pleasing everyone though, not going to be able to please all people no matter what he plays.

@nyhorn36: youre damn right, im a proud bean chili guy and proud communist

Wait how does jeff get 2 days out of his apple watch? Last time i checked its rated for 18 hours...

Dear @jeff,

The SID chip has 3 sound channels. The Amiga's Paula chip has four.

i like how ben found Mode Seven instead of Mode 7

I'd like to see Jeff go co-op with somebody at the desk and just burn through some beat-em up arcade games, or something. Those things are kind of short, like a half hour if you really just dump a bunch of credits in and go. That would be an interesting change of pace from him kind of just messing with demos of weird hacked retro shit and it would include other people more effectively than when he's fooling around with the home game on twitch.

Just a thought.

Big deja vu with the ninja sonic game. The conversation has happened before,

18 hours of constant use, factoring in things like checking the time, receiving notifications, using apps, and doing a 60-minute workout.

If you take it off to sleep and don't get tons of notifications and don't do a 60 minute work out then you can easily get two days out of it. Mine is an S3 and it lasts two days. I know some people with an S4 that can last for like two and a half days or even three days sometimes.

Thank you for this! Makes it way easier to skip the fighting games and retro games, getting tired of having those on almost every UPF.

@400lb_gorilla: yah but..why not have the graphic? Like who does it hurt to have that info instead of having to scrub back looking for when they say the name.

What wouldn't Rorie say? Subtle burn, very nice.

Whenever Ben brings up how Joker has a gun in Smash Bros, he must be forgetting that Bayonetta’s been around for years in Smash and has *four* guns!

u mentioned Dope Wars on this stream which means you have to play it.

I like the retro segments

I'm getting pretty bored with the Mister segments myself. Maybe spin that off into its own show? Lots of people seem to like it, but it's dominating every UPF.

Let me tell you, it really fucking hurt my soul when Brad asked “who likes Pilotwings?” I fucking do, Brad, I do (might be my favorite SNES game).

Excited to see this poop-a-doop-nership with the Five Nights at Freddy's people

This series started with Jeff reading the novelization of Space Jam.

An in depth look at the Five Nights At Freddy's games would be bringing it back to its pretty dumb roots - I am all for this.

Giana Sisters has warps but not like Mario, every third level has a hidden block somewhere that when hit transports you three stages ahead (so to the next stage with a warp).

There are two things I get out of these old games segments: the chance to see stuff I never see anywhere else and the commentary about it. I love it.

I've seen more than enough Smash Bros to last for the rest of my life, but I've never seen the Giant Giana Sisters (if I got that right). And though I didn't get to play most of them, even the ones I did play had no context at all for me at the time. I love hearing Jeff's stories about creation of the games or software wars at the time, or how well a game was received, or any other of the numerous random tidbits he can dig out of his brain.

Thanks Jeff, I really enjoy these streams! And Ben is a great comic foil for this; he almost always gets an honest-to-god laugh out loud from me. That's hard to come by.

Ben asking how much data a floppy disk can hold really made me feel old

Also, no beans in chili leaves you with meat soup. All y’all carnivores might like the idea of that, but the name alone is fucking gross. Sounds like what’s in an unflushed toilet.

@binarygod said:

I'd appreciate this too

SidePocket, fuck yeah. Game is cooler than you'll ever be.

Imagine the workplace discrimination that would happen toward a race of people that have a giant gun for a head.

Wait Jeff mentioned they played the Iron Man VR game, did they do that on site? Did I somehow miss a great VRodeo???

No Brad. Master System was more powerful than NES. You might be confusing Genesis with SNES. Master system was more advanced than NES.
